BP station owners across the country say sales are slumping, in some instances by up to 20 percent. BP owns just a fraction of the 9,700 BP-branded stations across the U.S. that sell BP fuel, and that gasoline comes from oil that may not even have been produced by BP. "It's not just BP-branded gasoline stations that BP supplies," said Juckniess. "Odds are if you go down the street, you're going to be buying BP gas anyways.
